Powered flight

December 17, 1903 101st anniversary of powered flight Orville and Wilbur Wright After extensive experimentation with wing structures, motor control, propellers, and various mechanical systems, the brothers left Dayton, Ohio, for Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, to test their aircraft in the consistently windy conditions along the coast. On December 17, 1903, with Orville at the controls, their flying machine flew 120 feet in 12 seconds. Two additional flights that day covered 175 and 200 feet, reaching an altitude of 10 feet.

A virtual vacation

You see I am a Ham radio operator and having this privilege I can travel around the world with the turn of a few dials on my radio. Today I took a virtual vacation to some very exotic countries such as China, Argentina, Canada, Japan, Italy, Scotland, S. Korea, and of course several cities here in the USA. And now I think its time for bed, I'm worn out after all that travailing.
